Abstract
The bioderacemization of racemic phosphinothricin (D, L-PPT) is a promising route for the synthesis of l-phosphinothricin (L-PPT). However, the low activity and tolerance of wild-type enzymes restrict their industrial applications. Two stereocomplementary aminotransferases with high activity and substrate tolerance were identified in a metagenomic library, and a one-pot, two-stage artificial cascade biocatalytic system was developed to produce L-PPT through kinetic resolution and asymmetric amination. We observed that 500 mM D, L-PPT (100 g/L) could be converted into L-PPT with 94% final conversion and >99.9% enantiomeric excess (e.e.) within 24 h, with only 0.02 eq amino acceptor pyruvate and 1.2 eq amino donor l-aspartate required. The process could be scaled up to 10 L under sufficient oxygen and stirring. The superior catalytic performance of this system provides an eco-friendly and sustainable approach to the industrial deracemization of D, L-PPT to L-PPT.

Abstract
The current research for the synthesis of industrially important fine chemicals is more inclined towards developing enzyme-based processes. The biotransformation reactions wherein microbial cells/enzymes are used, have become essential in making the process efficient, green, and economical. Amongst industrially important enzymes, amidase is one of the most versatile tools in biocatalysis and biotransformation reactions. It shows broad substrate specificity and sturdy functional characteristics because of its promiscuous nature. Further, advancement in the area led to the development of amidase recombinant systems, which are developed using biotechnology and enzyme engineering tools. Additionally, recombinant amidases may be instrumental in commercializing the synthesis of fine chemicals such as hydroxamic acids that have a significant pharmaceutical market. Hence, the present review focuses on highlighting and assimilating the tools and techniques used in developing recombinant systems followed by their applications.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 108:184. [PMID: 38289384 PMCID: PMC10827958 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-024-13023-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
Transaminase (TA) is a crucial biocatalyst for enantioselective production of the herbicide L-phosphinothricin (L-PPT). The use of enzymatic cascades has been shown to effectively overcome the unfavorable thermodynamic equilibrium of TA-catalyzed transamination reaction, also increasing demand for TA stability. In this work, a novel thermostable transaminase (PtTA) from Pseudomonas thermotolerans was mined and characterized. The PtTA showed a high specific activity (28.63 U/mg) towards 2-oxo-4-[(hydroxy)(methyl)phosphinoyl]butyric acid (PPO), with excellent thermostability and substrate tolerance. Two cascade systems driven by PtTA were developed for L-PPT biosynthesis, including asymmetric synthesis of L-PPT from PPO and deracemization of D, L-PPT. For the asymmetric synthesis of L-PPT from PPO, a three-enzyme cascade was constructed as a recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli G), by co-expressing PtTA, glutamate dehydrogenase (GluDH) and D-glucose dehydrogenase (GDH). Complete conversion of 400 mM PPO was achieved using only 40 mM amino donor L-glutamate. Furthermore, by coupling D-amino acid aminotransferase (Ym DAAT) from Bacillus sp. YM-1 and PtTA, a two-transaminase cascade was developed for the one-pot deracemization of D, L-PPT. Under the highest reported substrate concentration (800 mM D, L-PPT), a 90.43% L-PPT yield was realized. The superior catalytic performance of the PtTA-driven cascade demonstrated that the thermodynamic limitation was overcome, highlighting its application prospect for L-PPT biosynthesis. KEY POINTS: • A novel thermostable transaminase was mined for L-phosphinothricin biosynthesis. • The asymmetric synthesis of L-phosphinothricin was achieved via a three-enzyme cascade. • Development of a two-transaminase cascade for D, L-phosphinothricin deracemization.

Abstract
With potent herbicidal activity, biocatalysis synthesis of L-glufosinate has drawn attention. In present research, NAP-Das2.3, a deacetylase capable of stereoselectively resolving N-acetyl-L-glufosinate to L-glufosinate mined from Arenimonas malthae, was heterologously expressed and characterized. In Escherichia coli, NAP-Das2.3 activity only reached 0.25 U/L due to the formation of inclusive bodies. Efficient soluble expression of NAP-Das2.3 was achieved in Pichia pastoris. In shake flask and 5 L bioreactor fermentation, NAP-Das2.3 activity by recombinant P. pastoris reached 107.39 U/L and 1287.52 U/L, respectively. The optimum temperature and pH for N-acetyl-glufosinate hydrolysis by NAP-Das2.3 were 45 °C and pH 8.0, respectively. The Km and Vmax of NAP-Das2.3 towards N-acetyl-glufosinate were 25.32 mM and 19.23 μmol mg-1 min-1, respectively. Within 90 min, 92.71% of L-enantiomer in 100 mM racemic N-acetyl-glufosinate was converted by NAP-Das2.3. L-glufosinate with high optical purity (e.e.P above 99.9%) was obtained. Therefore, the recombinant NAP-Das2.3 might be an alternative for L-glufosinate biosynthesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biocatalytic production of L-phosphinothricin (L-PPT) is currently the most promising method. In this work, we use an Escherichia coli strain coexpressing of D-amino acid oxidase and catalase (E. coli DAAO-CAT) to oxidation biocatalytic D-PPT to PPO, then use the second E. coli strain coexpressing glutamate dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase (E. coli GluDH-FDH) to reduce biocatalytic PPO to L-PPT. MAIN METHODS AND MAJOR RESULTS We compared the effects of different concentrations of IPTG or lactose on protein expression and enzyme activity in 5 L fermenter. The best induction conditions for E. coli DAAO-CAT were 0.05 mM IPTG, induction for 18 h at 28°C. The specific enzyme activities of DAAO and CAT were 153.20 U g-1 and 896.23 U g-1 , respectively. The optimal induction conditions for E. coli GluDH-FDH were 0.2 mM IPTG, induction for 19 h at 28°C. The specific enzyme activities of GluDH and FDH were 41.72 U g-1 and 109.70 U g-1 , respectively. The 200 mM D-PPT was biocatalyzed by E. coli DAAO-CAT for 4 h with space-time yield of 9.0 g·L-1 ·h-1 and conversion rate of over 99.0%. Then 220 mM PPO was converted to L-PPT by E. coli GluDH-FDH for 3 h with space-time yield of 14.5 g·L-1 ·h-1 and conversion rate of over 99.0%. To our knowledge, this is the most efficient biocatalytic reaction for L-PPT production. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS We found that IPTG has advantages compared with lactose in the enzyme activity and biomass of E. coli DAAO-CAT and E. coli GluDH-FDH, and IPTG is more environmentally friendly. Our data implicated that IPTG can replace lactose in terms of economic feasibility and effectiveness for scaled-up industrial fermentations.

Abstract
L-Phosphinothricin (L-PPT) is the effective constituent in racemic PPT (a high-efficiency and broad-spectrum herbicide), and the exploitation of green and sustainable synthesis route for L-PPT has always been the focus in pesticide industry. In recent years, "one-pot, two-step" enzyme-mediated cascade strategy is a mainstream pathway to obtain L-PPT. Herein, RgDAAO and BsLeuDH were applied to expand "one-pot, two-step" process. Notably, a NADH-dependent leucine dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis (BsLeuDH) was firstly characterized and attempted to generate L-PPT, achieving an excellent enantioselectivity (99.9% ee). Meanwhile, a formate dehydrogenase from Pichia pastoris (PpFDH) was utilized to implement NADH cofactor regeneration and only CO2 was by-product. Sufficient amount of the corresponding keto acid precursor PPO was obtained by oxidation of D-PPT relying on a D-amino acid oxidase from Rhodotorula gracilis (RgDAAO) with content conversion (46.1%). L-PPT was ultimately prepared from racemized PPT via oxidative deamination catalyzed by RgDAAO and reductive amination catalyzed by BsLeuDH, achieving 80.3% overall yield and > 99.9% ee value.

Abstract
Ancestral enzymes are promising for industrial biotechnology due to high stability and catalytic promiscuity. An effective protocol was developed for the directed resurrection of ancestral enzymes. Employing genome mining with diaryl alcohol dehydrogenase KpADH as the probe, descendant enzymes D10 and D11 were firstly identified. Then through ancestral sequence reconstruction, A64 was resurrected with a specific activity of 4.3 U·mg-1. The optimum pH of A64 was 7.5, distinct from 5.5 of D10. The T15 50 and Tm values of A64 were 57.5 °C and 61.7 °C, significantly higher than those of the descendant counterpart. Substrate spectrum of A64 was quantitively characterized with a Shannon-Wiener index of 2.38, more expanded than D10, especially, towards bulky ketones in Group A and B. A64 also exhibited higher enantioselectivity. This study provides an effective protocol for constructing of ancestral enzymes and an efficient ancestral enzyme of industrial relevance for asymmetric synthesis of chiral alcohols.

Abstract
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is one of the most notorious and ubiquitous soilborne plant pathogens, causing serious economic losses to a large number of hosts worldwide. Although virulence factors have been identified in this filamentous fungus, including various cell-wall-degrading enzymes, toxins, oxalic acids and effectors, our understanding of its virulence strategies is far from complete. To explore novel factors contributing to disease, a new pipeline combining forward genetic screening and next-generation sequencing was utilized in this study. Analysis of a hypovirulent mutant revealed that a mutation in an amidase-encoding gene, Sscle_10g079050, resulted in reduced virulence. This is a first report on the contribution of an amidase to fungal virulence, likely through affecting oxalic acid homeostasis.

Abstract
Nitrile hydratase (NHase) is an excellent bio-catalyst for the synthesis of amide compounds, was composed of two heterologous subunits. However, the secretory expression of NHase has been difficult to achieve because of its complex expression mechanism. In this work, a novel fluorescent probe Rho-IDA-CoII was synthesized by the one-pot method. Rho-IDA-CoII could specifically label His-tagged proteins in vitro specifically, such as staining in-gel, western blot and ELISA. Furthermore, Rho-IDA-CoII combined with dot blot could quantitatively detect His-tagged proteins between 1 - 10 pmol and perform high-throughput screening for the NHase signal peptide library. The recombinant Bacillus subtilis WB800/phoB-HBA with the extracellular expression of NHase was screened from ca. 6500 clones. After optimization of fermentation conditions, the NHase activity in the culture supernatant reached to 17.34 ± 0.16 U/mL. It was the first time to express secretory NHase in Bacillus subtilis successfully.

Abstract
2,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) is one kind of important upgraded derivatives of biobased 5-hydroxymethylfuran (5-HMF). This study verified the feasibility of one-pot chemoenzymatic conversion of biobased D-fructose to BHMF by cascade catalysis with deep eutectic solvent Lactic acid:Betaine (LA:B) and reductase biocatalyst in LA:B - H2O. Using D-fructose (36.0 g/L) as feedstock, the yield of 5-HMF reached 91.6% in DES LA:B - H2O (15:85, v:v) at 150 °C for 1.5 h. Using D-fructose (2 mol D-fructose/mol 5-HMF) as cosubstrate, commercial 5-HMF (125 mM) was converted into BHMF at 90.7% yield by whole-cells of Pseudomonas putida S12 within 24 h at 30 °C and pH 8.0. In addition, Pseudomonas Putida S12 could efficiently transform D-fructose-valorized 5-HMF into BHMF [98.4% yield, based on 5-HMF; 90.1% yield, based on substrate D-fructose] in DES LA:B - H2O. An efficient chemoenzymatic valorization of D-fructose to BHMF was developed in a benign reaction system.

Abstract
Glucosinolates (GSLs), secondary metabolites synthesized by cruciferous plants, can be hydrolyzed by myrosinase into compounds, such as isothiocyanates (ITCs), with various bioactivities. Thus, myrosinase plays an important role in the utilization of GSLs. We isolated a bacterial strain, which was identified as Leclercia adecarboxylata, from the rhizosphere soil of rape seedlings and identified two myrosinase genes and an ITC hydrolase gene. Both myrosinases are intracellular and have 658 amino acid residues. Via molecular docking and chemical modification assays investigating the active sites of the myrosinases, arginine was found to be essential for their catalytic activity. Transcriptomic analysis of the response to sinigrin revealed significant up-regulation of some genes involved in allyl-ITC detoxification, with metallo-β-lactamase 3836 having the highest fold change. Thus, we discovered two myrosinases from L. adecarboxylata and demonstrated that the mechanism of tolerance of the bacterium to allyl-ITC likely involved metallo-β-lactamase activity.

Abstract
Phosphinothricin (PPT) is one of the most prevalently using herbicides. The commercial phosphinothricin products are generally in the form of a racemic mixture, of which only the l-phosphinothricin (L-PPT) gives herbicidal function. Synthesis of optically pure L-PPT by deracemization of D/L-PPT is a promising way to cut down the environmental burden and manufacturing cost. To convert D/L-PPT to L-PPT, we expressed the catalytic enzymes by genomic integration in E. coli. The whole production was implemented in two steps in one pot using four catalytic enzymes, namely d-amino acid oxidase, catalase, glutamate dehydrogenase, and glucose dehydrogenase. Finally, after a series of process optimization, the results showed that with our system the overall L-PPT yield reached 86%. Our study demonstrated a new strategy for L-PPT synthesis, based on enzymes from chromosomal integrated expression, which does not depend on antibiotic selection, and shows a high potential for future industrial application.

Simultaneous directed evolution of coupled enzymes for efficient asymmetric synthesis of l-phosphinothricin. Appl Environ Microbiol 2021; 87:AEM.02563-20.

Abstract
The traditional strategy to improve the efficiency of an entire coupled enzyme system relies on separate direction of the evolution of enzymes involved in their respective enzymatic reactions. This strategy can lead to enhanced single-enzyme catalytic efficiency but may also lead to loss of coordination among enzymes. This study aimed to overcome such shortcomings by executing a directed evolution strategy on multiple enzymes in one combined group that catalyzes the asymmetric biosynthesis of l-phosphinothricin. The genes of a glutamate dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas moorei (PmGluDH) and a glucose dehydrogenase from Exiguobacterium sibiricum (EsGDH), along with other gene parts (promoters, ribosomal binding sites (RBSs), and terminators) were simultaneously evolved. The catalytic efficiency of PmGluDH was boosted by introducing the beneficial mutation A164G (from 1.29 s-1mM-1 to 183.52 s-1mM-1), and the EsGDH expression level was improved by optimizing the linker length between the RBS and the start codon of gdh. The total turnover numbers of the bioreaction increased from 115 (GluDH WTNADPH) to 5846 (A164GNADPH coupled with low expression of EsGDH), and to 33950 (A164GNADPH coupled with high expression of EsGDH). The coupling efficiency was increased from ∼30% (GluDH_WT with low expression of GDH) to 83.3% (GluDH_A164G with high expression of GDH). In the batch production of l-phosphinothricin utilizing whole-cell catalysis, the strongest biocatalytic reaction exhibited a high space-time yield (6410 g·L-1·d-1) with strict stereoselectivity (>99% enantiomeric excess).Importance: The traditional strategy to improve multienzyme-catalyzed reaction efficiency may lead to enhanced single-enzyme catalytic efficiency but may also result in loss of coordination among enzymes. We describe a directed evolution strategy of an entire coupled enzyme system to simultaneously enhance enzyme coordination and catalytic efficiency. The simultaneous evolution strategy was applied to a multienzyme-catalyzed reaction for the asymmetric synthesis of l-phosphinothricin, which not only enhanced the catalytic efficiency of GluDH but also improved the coordination between GluDH and GDH. Since this strategy is enzyme-independent, it may be applicable to other coupled enzyme systems for chiral chemical synthesis.

Abstract
D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) is widely used in the industrial preparation of L-amino acids, and cultivating Escherichia coli (E. coli) expressing DAAO for the biosynthesis of L-phosphinothricin (L-PPT) is very attractive. At present, the biomass production of DAAO by fermentation is still limited in large-scale industrial applications because the expression of DAAO during the fermentation process inhibits the growth of host cells, which limits higher cell density. In this study, the factors that inhibit the growth of bacterial cells during a 5-L fed-batch fermentation process were explored, and the fermentation process was optimized by co-expressing catalase (CAT), by balancing the biomass and the enzyme activity, and by adding exogenous D-alanine (D-Ala) to relieve the limitation of DAAO on the cells and optimize fermentation. Under optimal conditions, the DO-STAT feeding mode with DO controlled at 30% ± 5% and the addition of 27.5 g/L lactose mixed with 2 g/L D-Ala during induction at 28 °C resulted in the production of 26.03 g dry cell weight (DCW)/L biomass and 390.0 U/g DCW specific activity of DAAO; an increase of 78% and 84%, respectively, compared with the initial fermentation conditions. The fermentation strategy was successfully scale-up to a 5000-L fermenter.

Abstract
A chemoenzymatic strategy was developed for the highly efficient synthesis of l-phosphinothricin employing a robust immobilized amidase. An enzymatic hydrolysis of 500 mM N-phenylacetyl-d,l-phosphinothricin resulted in 49.9% conversion and 99.9% ee of l-phosphinothricin within 6 h. To further evaluate the bioprocess for l-phosphinothricin production, the biotransformation was performed for 100 batches under a stirred tank reactor with an average productivity of 8.21 g L-1 h-1. Moreover, unreacted N-phenylacetyl-d-phosphinothricin was racemized and subjected to the enzymatic hydrolysis, giving l-phosphinothricin with a 22.3% yield. A total yield of 69.4% was achieved after one recycle of N-phenylacetyl-d-phosphinothricin. Significantly, this chemoenzymatic approach shows great potential in the industrial production of l-phosphinothricin.

Abstract
Deracemization of D,L-phosphinothricin (D,L-PPT) is one of the most promising routes for preparation of optically pure L-PPT. In this work, an efficient multi-enzyme redox cascade was developed for deracemization ofPPT, which includes oxidative reaction and reductive reaction. The oxidative reaction catalyzing oxidative deamination of D-PPT to 2-oxo-4-[(hydroxy)(-methyl)phosphinyl]butyric acid (PPO) was performed by a D-amino acid oxidase and a catalase for removing H2O2. The reductive reaction catalyzing amination of PPO to L-PPT is achieved by a glufosinate dehydrogenase and a glucose dehydrogenase for cofactor regeneration. To avoid the inhibitory effect of glucose on the oxidative reaction, a "two stages in one-pot" strategy was developed to combine these two reactions in deracemization process. By using this strategy, the L-PPT was obtained with a high yield (89 %) and > 99 % enantiomeric excess at substrate loading of 300 mM in absence of addition of extra NADP+. These encouraging results demonstrated that the developed enzyme cascade deracemization process exhibits great potential and economical competitiveness for manufacture of L-PPT from D,L-PPT.

Abstract
A single-transaminase-catalyzed biocatalytic cascade was developed by employing the desired biocatalyst, ATA-117-Rd11, that showed high activity toward 2-oxo-4-[(hydroxy)(methyl)phosphinoyl] butyric acid (PPO) and α-ketoglutarate, and low activity against pyruvate. The cascade successfully promotes a highly asymmetric amination reaction for the synthesis of l-phosphinothricin (l-PPT) with high conversion (>95 %) and>99 % ee. In a scale-up experiment, using 10 kg pre-frozen E. coli cells harboring ATA-117-Rd11 as catalyst, 80 kg PPO was converted to ≈70 kg l-PPT after 24 hours with a high ee value (>99 %).

Abstract
Amidases (EC 3. 5. 1. X) are versatile biocatalysts for synthesis of chiral carboxylic acids, α-amino acids and amides due to their hydrolytic and acyl transfer activity towards the C-N linkages. They have been extensively exploited and studied during the past years for their high specific activity and excellent enantioselectivity involved in various biotechnological applications in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Additionally, they have attracted considerable attentions in biodegradation and bioremediation owing to environmental pressures. Motivated by industrial demands, crystallographic investigations and catalytic mechanisms of amidases based on structural biology have witnessed a dramatic promotion in the last two decades. The protein structures showed that different types of amidases have their typical stuctural elements, such as the conserved AS domains in signature amidases and the typical architecture of metal-associated active sites in acetamidase/formamidase family amidases. This review provides an overview of recent research advances in various amidases, with a focus on their structural basis of phylogenetics, substrate specificities and catalytic mechanisms as well as their biotechnological applications. As more crystal structures of amidases are determined, the structure/function relationships of these enzymes will also be further elucidated, which will facilitate molecular engineering and design of amidases to meet industrial requirements.

Abstract
The main aim of this work was to firstly develop a selective oxidation approach for biologically converting 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural into the corresponding furan-based carboxylic acids with recombinant Escherichia coli HMFOMUT. Whole-cells of this recombinant strain harbored good biocatalytic activity in a narrow pH range (pH 6.5-7.0), which had high tolerance toward furfural (up to 50 mM) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (up to 150 mM), well-known potential inhibitors against microorganisms. 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid and furoic acid could be obtained at 96.9% and 100% yield from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (150 mM) and furfural (50 mM) at 30 °C and pH 7.0. The improved substrate tolerance of Escherichia coli HMFOMUT is gaining a great interest to synthesize value-added furan-based carboxylic acids, which has potential industrial applications.

Abstract
In this study, the development of a rapid, high-throughput method for the selection of amide-hydrolysing enzymes from the metagenome is described. This method is based on uridine auxotrophic Escherichia coli strain DH10B ∆pyrFEC and the use of N4-benzoyl-2’-deoxycytidine as a sole source of uridine in the minimal microbial M9 medium. The approach described here permits the selection of unique biocatalysts, e.g., a novel amidohydrolase from the activating signal cointegrator homology (ASCH) family and a polyethylene terephthalate hydrolase (PETase)-related enzyme.

Abstract
Biosynthesizing unnatural chiral amino acids is challenging due to the limited reductive amination activity of amino acid dehydrogenase (AADH). Here, for the asymmetric synthesis of l-phosphinothricin from 2-oxo-4-[(hydroxy)(methyl)phosphinoyl]butyric acid (PPO), a glutamate dehydrogenase gene (named GluDH3) from Pseudomonas monteilii was selected, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli). To boost its activity, a "two-step"-based computational approach was developed and applied to select the potential beneficial amino acid positions on GluDH3. l-phosphinothricin was synthesized by GluDH-catalyzed asymmetric amination using the d-glucose dehydrogenase from Exiguobacterium sibiricum (EsGDH) for NADPH regeneration. Using lyophilized E. coli cells that co-expressed GluDH3_V375S and EsGDH, up to 89.04 g L-1 PPO loading was completely converted to l-phosphinothricin within 30 min at 35 °C with a space-time yield of up to 4.752 kg·L-1·d-1. The beneficial substitution V375S with increased polar interactions between K90, T193, and substrate PPO exhibited 168.2-fold improved catalytic efficiency (kcat/KM) and 344.8-fold enhanced specific activity. After the introduction of serine residues into other GluDHs at specific positions, forty engineered GluDHs exhibited the catalytic functions of "glufosinate dehydrogenase" towards PPO.

Abstract
L-phosphinothricin (L-PPT) is a competitive and environmentally friendly herbicide. To develop an efficient approach for synthesis of l-PPT, a kinetic resolution route with a novel aminoacylase (SmAcy) mined from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia using N-acetyl-PPT as a substrate was first constructed. This SmAcy exhibited high hydrolytic activity and excellent enantioselectivity (E > 200) toward N-acetyl-PPT. Optically pure l-PPT (> 99.9 % eep) was acquired with high conversion (> 49 %) within 4 h by the whole cells. On the basis of the docking analysis, a main reason for high enantioselectivity (E > 200) of SmAcy towards l-enantiomer would be that the D-N-acetyl-PPT cannot interact with the key general acid-base residue and the metal ions. A low-cost and simple preparation process of the substrate from commercially available racemic PPT for production of L-PPT was provided. A chemical racemization method of the unreacted D-enantiomer of substrate was also provided to recycle the unwanted substrate enantiomer. This study provides a potential route for the industrial production of L-PPT.
